Foundry Kitchen and Tavern

Came here on a drive back from NYC and found this place on Opentable. We got seated immediately and loved the vibe. A bit old school and yet a modern menu and modern pop music in the background. (Extra points for Call Me Maybe.)

Service was a bit slow to start but picked up. Server was great when we spilled a mocktail to get a new one. I got a cocktail that was very tasty though a bit pricey at $14.

The wings and calamari to start came out piping out and both were excellent. Lots of hearty pieces on both. We scarfed both down.

The main dishes also had a number of standouts. The half chicken fried chicken platter was huge with terrific sides. I had the miso salmon which appears to be a regular. I loved the rice, salmon and bok choy. The sauce was a tad overdone in my view - just very rich and can kind of overwhelm the dish. But still terrific.

The hula pork sandwich was also quite good.

Overall, really enjoyed this place. We'll be back.

The Foundry is a Newtown staple! Quaint restaurant with a creative drink menu and tasty dishes. The vegan and short rib dumplings were incredible! Flavorful and filling. I enjoyed the shrimp curry for my entree and was delighted by the uniqueness, which had a little spice. It was a good portion as well. The crème brûlée for dessert was classic goodness.

Thankful that Foundry stayed open on this snowy day to help us celebrate a birthday! The burger and beer deal on Tuesdays was a hit. Not to mention the happy hour apps and later, desserts to top off our night!

So I'm not one to give 5 stars for no reason but I honestly couldn't find a reason to complain. They did a wonderful job serving my friends and I for a girls day .. star was great and food was EXCELLENT. I could have stayed in there forever. I also noticed they have an event area upstairs that I would love to utilize in the future. Such an elegant place with a beautiful place for photos outside and plenty of parking. Just give them a try. Definitely worth the drive.

My absolute favorite were the short rib dumplings... Just do it! Not pictured bc we ate them SO fast

I stopped in here the other day with a group of girls after we had checked out some other local spots in the area and oh am I glad we did!

The building is absolutely gorgeous, for starters. Such a great location and each room inside is beautiful. I popped into the bathroom which I can also confirm is very clean and nice as well.

We all started off our girls day brunch with some drinks, I went with smells like tea spirit because I love a good tea drink as well as a good pun. Beautiful beverage and tasty too!

We all decided to split some apps, and all of us were in agreement that the street corn nachos were BOMB and perfectly made. I mean perfect distribution of cheese and toppings to nachos. The dumplings were also tasty, and we are all still talking about the bbq wings we all split that had a unique smoky flavor.

Our entrees then arrived and by that time the most I did with my hash entree was pop my egg yolk but I ate it the next 2 mornings for breakfast and it was superb. We are all in agreement we will be coming back again to check out more of the menu.

Brunch though was for sure a 5 star experience.

Outstanding food and service. One of the best spots in Newtown for dinner and amazing drink menu

We recently ordered takeout for dinner.
The fried chicken was good and it was enough for two days.
My husband ordered the fish taco and he liked it.
The place is nice so I think we will eat in next time.

I was in the area with a group of friends and we were looking for dining options. We checked Yelp and this place came up in the search so we decided to check it out. I'm glad we did because the food was so delicious! Items we shared included the street corn nachos (with chicken), buffalo wings and short rib dumplings. The nachos were some of the best nachos I've ever had. And the short rib dumplings were beyond tasty. Besides the shared apps we each ordered individual lunch/brunch dishes. And all six of us were extremely pleased with our meals. I'm glad we stumbled upon this restaurant and I can't wait to return!

Always a great time at Foundry. Love their food, service and ambience especially in the warm weather.

The food was fantastic, but everything else was so-so.
We made reservations to Foundry for a Saturday evening, since the last time we popped in they couldn't seat us. In my reservation, I requested a window seat. But I felt like Nate on Ted Lasso, and didn't get my request filled, despite the several open seats.
The street corn nachos were enough for 3 people as an appetizer and loaded with goodies like corn, cheese, some jalapenos, and some mild pickled onions--a very tasty dish.
For the meal, my girlfriend had the Classic burger but with an Impossible patty.. She said it was delicious and also loved the fresh brioche roll. It came with her choice of tater tots, which she elected to be seasoned with Old Bay. A nice choice. She said the tots were perfectly cooked and had a nice crisp to them.
I had a half-order version of the Fried Chicken Dinner. It was huge. 3 or 4 well-battered and seasoned chicken pieces. It also came with small dishes of gravy, a biscuit, some mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and some greens which had the most delicious smokey flavor. I'm so glad I got this entree, and I'm glad I only got the half-order because I still had to bring most of it home.
Prices were fair, parking was ample.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is pretty nice but casual, and had the old historical mill/house vibe happening. With squeaky floors, and a tin ceiling you got the comfort vibe that accompanied the comfort food. They had a large drink menu of cocktails, mocktails, and beer. They had short ribs on the menu, and some dumplings that sounded good too. Plenty of Vegan options as well.
The service was uncomfortably slow and inattentive. We didn't have water glasses or place settings on our table and had to ask for them. All the characteristics of a restaurant short on staff and equally overworked. The sink in the restroom could use some attention. The faucet wasn't attached and makes you say WTF.
